Helps to make a horizontal plugin architecture. ### Getting Started ##### Installation ```sh $ sudo npm install plexi -g ``` ##### Initialize project ```sh # init with default activator js file (activator.js file will be created) $ plexi init # or your own activator js file can be specified $ plexi init src/youractivator.js ``` ##### Install plugins ```sh # if you want install according to package.json/plexi.dependencies $ plexi install # install plexi based packages you want (--save option for save package.json/plexi.dependencies) $ plexi install plexi.workbench --save $ plexi install plexi.mongodb@^2.6.5 --save # also can install from git repository $ plexi install https://github.com/attrs/plexi.mongodb --save $ plexi install attrs/plexi.mongodb --save # uninstall $ plexi uninstall plexi.workbench --save # also can install from file system for local test (by symbolic link) # (useful method for developing several plugins) $ plexi link file:package_dir_path --save # unlink $ plexi unlink file:package_dir_path --save ``` ##### Writing activator See https://github.com/attrs/plexi/tree/master/examples ```js module.exports = { start: function(ctx) { // preference from plexi.json var options = ctx.preference; // simple example for use plexi.http var http = ctx.require('plexi.http'); var bucket = http.create().mount('/myapp'); bucket.get('/index.html', function(req, res) { res.write('Hello, World!\n' + JSON.stringify(options)); }); console.log('[' + ctx.id + '] start'); }, stop: function(ctx) { console.log('[' + ctx.id + '] stop'); } }; ``` ##### Start plugin-system ```sh # will be executed activator.js specified from plexi init (pakage.json/plexi.activator) $ plexi start ... plexi$ _ ``` ##### Internal cli usage ```sh # plugin system status plexi$ p ... # plugins status plexi$ ss 0 started yourpacakage 0.0.1 1 started plexi.http 0.1.0 ... # plugin info ("0" is ss index number) plexi$ p 0 # stop plugin plexi$ stop 0 # start plugin plexi$ start 0 # help plexi$ h # quit plexi$ q ``` ### License [MIT](LICENSE) [npm-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/v/plexi.svg?style=flat [npm-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/plexi [downloads-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/plexi.svg?style=flat [downloads-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/plexi [travis-image-flat]: https://img.shields.io/travis/attrs/plexi.svg?style=flat [travis-image]: https://travis-ci.org/attrs/plexi.svg?branch=master [travis-url]: https://travis-ci.org/attrs/plexi [gratipay-image]: https://img.shields.io/gratipay/teamattrs.svg?style=flat [gratipay-url]: https://gratipay.com/teamattrs/ --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/plexi · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
